Title: Primary and secondary VGA...
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 03.05.05 at 14:12:44
Hello I just been installing my old Leadtek GeForce4 Ti4600 as primary VGA in my windows 2000 machine and the Voodoo5 5500 also just installed it via device manager.

the problem is how do i make my Ti4600 Primary VGA and my 5500 PCI secondary?

The Ti4600 works fine but when I put my monitor on the CGA in of the 5500 PCI there is no signal from that device, never knew it would be this nasty.

Kan anybody explain me how to get the 5500 PCI as second VGA to give me a right signal?

Friendly regards,

Obi-Wan Kenobi.

In the properties of the display, at the last flap, are there two monitors shown or only one? If there is only one it could be the problem that at bootup there is no monitor connected the VGA-out of the 5500 PCI so it's not activated.
If you have a second monitor it has to be connected at bootup, otherwise the 5500 VGA-out refuses to work even if you connect a monitor when windows is working.

here is the Ti4600 with monitor 1 as Primary VGA:

and here the 5500 PCI with Monitor2 as primary VGA:

and also I had to use the " Extend my windows desktop onto this monitor" option to get to the 5500 PCI and then undo that option on the Ti4600 to get the whole desktop to the 5500 PCI :) and the other way around for the Ti460 AGP :)

Thanx for your help man, now I finnaly got it working :) What I also found out is that you can't insall 3dfx tools, well you can but you won't see them in you task bar on the right, is that because the Ti4600 AGP is still the main card?

3dfx tools wont work if you use a voodoo3/4/5 card together with a geforce or radeon.I would uninstall the amigamerlin driver and tools,and install the latest SFFT driver (same D3D core as amigamerlin,but newer).use vcontrol if you need to modify some settings..
